Just read about a Massivepooshits court reinstating a case where a man had an accident (automobile) allegedly due to a side effect of medications prescribed months before, and that the prescriber could be held liable. Now doctors will not be able to prescribe anything without looking over their shoulder. I for one have decided to follow each and every patient 24 hours a day that I have ever seen and make sure they take their medications as prescribed, and that they don't drive while taking any soporific medication (read:no more narcotics, whether you are in pain or not). Hooray for tort reform. That state, once the bastion of clear thinking people (granted, that was over 200 years ago) has slid off into the abyss of social/cultural relativistic marxist-based socialism. They can't fund their glorious 100% coverage health care, and they dug a gigantic 14 billion dollar hole where the roof leaks and the ceiling falls in. But they do have Teddy (give me the keys) Kennedy and that other "war hero".

Why don't you just read the PDR entry to each patient for every drug that you prescribe? That shouldn't take but 30 or 40 minutes a drug and you can document that you properly warned them of the side effects.

Tort reform in Texas has been a HUGE success. Bush should have pushed for it nationally when he had the chance (Republican Congress). Now that the trial lawyers are back in charge of Congress, it'll never get done.

I'd just like to remind you that our lovely "REPUBLICAN", and I use the term loosely, governor signed the universal health care coverage bill into existence.

He also shoveled an inexorable amount of funding into that leaky, traffic-clogged pit of despair. Those funds were then funneled to some of the most corrupt officials to the Turnpike Authority in the history of the state that he, incidentally, helped appoint. I'm willing to bet that he had some of those very same funds funneled back to his campaign for president.

didn't know they had any republicans in mass? i must admit here that while i call myself a republican i find it hard to find anyone whose profession is politics to admire. i'm a conservative and forty years ago would have voted for JFK.

Taxachussets isn't that bad, Reagan carried the state in 80' and 84'. Never understood how it came to be so liberal. My Uncles from Wooster, I swear he came south because he likes arresting Blacks. Hmm maybe thats why Mass votes so reliably for democrats, the republicans all moved to Georgia.
